New Full Text Reference Resource From US PIRG: “Affordable Textbooks: A Policy Guide”
The new policy guide was published about a week ago by U.S. PIRG (United States Public Interest Research Group) Education Fund And The Student PIRGS.
The purpose of this guide is to provide policy guidance to thought leaders and decision-makers from all levels of institutions and government – from individual campuses considering policies that support open textbook use and development to state legislators that are considering approaches to making textbooks more affordable.
The full text guide is available here and also embedded below.
